Born to Be Wild

An outlaw biker. Car thief, meth dealer, rapist, and killer. Gets a last chance to be a good guy.

Philadelphia suburbs, 1971. Bobby Nauss is a quiet, parochial school student. After high school, he becomes a gun-toting member of one of the most feared motorcycle gangs in America. And once his life changes, he can never go back.

Liz Lande is young, blonde, and beautiful. But she has a knack for picking the wrong men. And when she falls in love with Bobby Nauss, the mistake costs her life.

The Warlocks motorcycle gang specializes in kidnapping young women, gang-raping them, and murdering them. And Bobby Nauss is ultimately convicted of dealing meth, raping a young woman, and murdering Liz.

In 1983, while serving his sentences in a maximum-security prison, he escapes. While law enforcement tries to apprehend him, he relocates, changes his identity, and begins a new life. To his new family, friends, and neighbors in Michigan, he's known as a decent, generous, law-abiding citizen.

But has he really changed, or is he still a Warlock at heart?

Born to Be Wild takes you into a criminal, misogynistic subculture, and traces Bobby Nauss's involvement in a horrific rape and murder, his cunning jailbreak, and his new life as a "model" citizen. This true crime saga takes 20 years to play out before Bobby's finally brought to justice.

About the Author
Barry Bowe stands for Truth, Justice, and the American Way. He became a writer at forty-five after being fired from a lucrative sales management position in Philadelphia in 1987. He moved to the island of St. Croix in the Caribbean and vowed to never again work in the corporate world and to learn the craft of writing. He taught algebra, geometry, and trigonometry at Country Day School, an exclusive private school, and he moonlighted as a bartender while taking correspondence courses in writing. He eventually landed a sports writing job with the territory's Daily News. As the only sports writer on the island, he covered soccer, basketball, baseball, softball, volleyball, horse racing, yacht racing, boxing, golf, tennis, sailboarding, fishing, and croquet. Born to Be Wild was originally published by Warner Books in 1994 and consisted of 80,000 words and became a Main Selection of Doubleday's Book of the Month Club and was translated into German under the title: Der Wilde. At that point, Barry Bowe quit writing for the next twenty years to devote his life to betting on racehorses and delivering pizza. In 2014, the passion to create returned and he revised the original version of Born to Be Wild by restoring the 40,000 words that he'd been forced to delete by the publisher to conserve space the first time around. The revised version is 124,600 words long. Since then, he published 1964 - The Year the Phillies Blew the Pennant and 12 Best Eagles QBs. More on the drawing board for 2015.
